Can claim my son as a dependent if he qualifies under every requirement, but I don't cover his health insurance?
My son is 22 years old, was a full-time college student for the first 5 months of this year and graduated in May. I have always claimed him as a dependent as I have provided most of his financial support except for his medical insurance, which his father was required to cover as per our divorce agreement. When his father lost his job, he enrolled my son in Medicaid, (under the ACA), of which I was not aware. Can still claim my son as a dependent if I still provide most of his support, (he's been living with me since graduation), but not providing his medical insurance? I can't afford to add him to my insurance and he's still on Medicaid. I am pretty sure his father did not include my income when enrolling him. Can I still claim him for 2017?
